Continuous Running 1 20- 40 mins
How long you run will depend on your base.
If you have been running previously then this will not mean a significant change.
If you have done nothing previously then you will start at the lower end of the scale. A game is 40 – 60 mins long so you should be able to run for 30 – 40 mins (whether it be continuous or intervals-based running).

3 mins running at fast jogspeed
2 mins slow jog or walk forrecovery
Do x4
Rest 1 min
Repeat.
Increase to x6 as you get fitter
